If you install it from ports (you will have to unforbid the port and to
edit the Mk/bsd.port.mk a bit), it will install itself in /use/local.
It is not a problem by itself if your scripts use the right shebang line
and/or you put /usr/local/bin before your /usr/bin.  Plus, you can
always create a symlink if you wish, not it will get nuked if you do
installworld without NO_PERL=true in your /etc/make.conf.

Alternatively, most every perl configures and builds just fine with sh
Configure -des (i.e., no wasted time to answer Configure's questions).
Here you'll have the same problem with /usr/bin link, though.
